  • little help with firetools

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 1 17:30:01 2025
    on debian 11 i just install firetools and firejail
    docs say both are setuid
    firejail works, firetools doesn't
    firejail is setuid, firetools isn't
    if i sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/firetools i get

    FATAL: The application binary appears to be running setuid, this is a security hole.
    Aborted

    is this a problem wth the firetools package

    However, setuid on a script is considered a security
    flaw.

    Was. Now it just does not have any effect.
